BTW - HP suck backwash so bad as to be laughable.... talk about your off
the
shelf ****boxes!

This is my 3rd Pavilion. All have been fast machines once their video
cards
were swapped. No problems with any of them. This 3.2 media center copies a
movie in 6 minutes! Handles analogue video perfectly and never drops a
frame
from DV cameras. Wish I could say the same for a G4 or G5.
Can't say enough good things about HP.

Real good Bob... you compare a $1200 Hp to a $10K G5???

19" Micron
CRT that works remarkably well for the $50


Micron guts generally equals a Mag on most monitors. Good quality if you
can't
afford a good LCD.

Don't like the LCDs out now.... unless you have 20K for a screen without the
resolution of a CRT.

Pen and tablet??? where do you get these lame ideas.... that stuff is

Spotone.... you mean the industry standard of Pantone?


And you claim to be a professional?

Bwhahahhahahaha

Cheers


Bwahahahahahahahaaaaa.... ya didn't read that last one through did ya?


Yes I did an NO professional would think a software reference referred to
a spot color system

Bwahahhahahaha

Cheers

Do you understand how stupid you look right now Nav??

The spotone Bob referred to is not software.... and neither is Pantone.
Go back to shaggin' the bone bag..... you're way out of your league here.

spot colour system software... bwahahahahahahaaa.... what an imbecile!

Wacom.... big deal. I thought you had some fancy rig I wasn't aware of
yet... that's like providing a link to a MicroSoft Mouse.

It's cool to flip the pen and erase what you've just entered though!

That tablet is far more capable than any you've used. You simply are out
of the
loop. This is a very common tool. If you tried one you'd buy it. I plan
to.


My bro bought 2 new Wacoms this spring.... big deal... I've used tablets
for years... their use is limited... it won't replace the mouse.... I
currently use the Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse. That's a nice unit....

You can't do careful retouch work with a mouse efficiently. The pen is a
much better interface for that.

Nav... you're an idiot..... I can do complex digitized illustrations with a
my optical mouse.
I've done them for years.....

Which is why you see them in most digital suites.

No you don't Bob... . They have a use... but they are not a requirement.

No, Mooron. Tablets are not designed to replace a mouse.
Sigh.

So are you saying they have a limited use parameter or are you saying you
can do the same work on the same level at the same speed with either. I'm
leaning to the latter.

Mainframe?

Sorry Nav... local colloquialism for desktop unit....

Why do you think you need 128 megs video memory to edit a still picture on
the screen?

Cheers


Need... naw.... want...yeah. I can edit with my 8 megs of video on the
laptop. It takes about 6 times longer than my "main frame"... or desk top
unit as you prefer to refer to it.

Well for openers, IBM in this context is hardware, not software or an
operating
system. Only a completely computer illiterate would be calling this an IBM
issue. You could correctly call it a wintel/mac issue, as in
"windows-Intel"
but that's optional language. It's a Windows/ Mac issue. Apple makes both
the
hardware and the operating system for their product. Meanwhile, both Macs
and
Windows platforms can run Photoshop and Quark and save them to a common
folder
up on the Novell server, which is neither Mac or Windows. Go figure!
Create a
page in Quark on either a Mac or a PC and then pass it along to the next
person
on either a Mac or a PC who needs to work on that page. Holy crap! The
file
opens right up and you can do whatever you want with it! When I got into
the
publishing biz it was as systems manager for one newspaper. The next thing
you
know I'm promoted to General Manager/Publisher. That's just fine until
along
comes a big ugly publishing juggernaut, who is busy buying up smaller
chains and
independents. They buy my paper, and surprise, surprise... I'm the only
management they retain at any of thier aquisitions in my state. They
proceed to
promote me over and over, until I'm managing virtually all of their
properties
in my state. It's okay for a while, but they are NOT very nice people to
work
for. Very abusive towards many of my co-workers. To this day, I'm not sure
why,
but apparently I'm more or less immune to this extremely poor treatment.
They
continue to heap money and promotions on me until it gets to the point
where I'm
basically in charge of everything, and getting calls at 3 AM from various
properties around the state when they run into problems. I realize I have
enough
time in to retire, and more than enough financial security, so I retired.
It
wasn't until the third attempt that I was finally able to make it stick.
My wife
has a career she enjoys, so until she's ready to pack it in, I work for
the
informations systems department of one of the 10 largest cities in
Connecticut
about 35 hours a week. I took this job because I was able to stipulate
that I
was to be in charge of NOTHING. There is no such thing as calling me at
home, or
asking me to stay extra time for anything. I spend most of my time helping
teachers and librarians (now called media specialists) integrate computers
into
what they do.

Sounds like Bob... on Acid!
